Thanks for that reply. Will look forward to trying it out. Do you happen to know if Autopilot ever implemented this feature in their app? Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots

My biggest question is can missions be plotted that are beyond the connection range as in Litchi Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots

Yesterday day I took my P3A out to do a Litchi mission which was about 3.5 miles round trip. Flew to the outskirts of our local mall and back from my house. Anyways, when the bird came back into sight I heard a like pulsating sound that was being generated from the props. The prop sound would be...

It will start ascending as soon as it leaves point B, and end up at 300ft exactly at point C. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots

Yes, 22 minutes is pushing it. My longest flight was 20 minutes, and so I do not exceed 20 minutes. Normally I average around 18 minute flights. To get your bird to rotate in flight, you have to learn how to plot your points of interests (POI's). Go to YouTube and search, "Litchi waypoint...

I have not tested this theory yet because I do not flirt with my batteries limit. I am waiting along with you for someone who can verify your question. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots

It will complete the entire mission even after flying beyond your connection. It is a great feature, but can be a bit nerve racking until you get used to it. You have to ensure your mission is on point before sending it off. I can still track the birds position when it's out of range with the...

I can answer the latter for you. The bird will gradually ascend on its way to waypoint 2. I will sit back and wait along with you for the answer to your first question. I keep my waypoint missions at 22 minutes or less at a average speed of about 20 to 22 mph. This gives me a comfortably 4 mile...

Alokbhargava's list of measures to take when performing waypoint missions is right on. Especially the time frame at which he recommended not to exceed. All my missions thus far have been no longer than 15 minutes. Even my longest which I stated was 3.5 miles round trip. My speed on this mission...

Invest in a external GPS module to attach to the bird. Look at my bird in my profile pic to the left.

It does take a few missions to eventually calm the nerves, but this ability opens up so many possibilities. Just go over you mission plan extensively and take care of your bird. It will do amazing things for you, especially when you start to master controlling the gimbal and camera.

Let me tell you, Litchi is greatest thing ever. In the beginning I was totally nervous when doing missions with Litchi knowing I would be losing signal. I have done about 15 waypoint missions with Litchi where I lose signal and they all have returned back to me as plotted everytime, no issues at...

What is your setting for max kp?

Will verify that, thanks! Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots mobile app
